Hey uj; if you didn't see the other comment, it is v much the case that moving 'up' the age for SS/medic a few yrs, which makes ALL the SENSE in the world, solves ALL these probs...

No ifs, ands, or buts (that is why every doom and gloom scenario summary requires that "...leave SS/medic alone..." or some such wording).

We will DO that some day and thus, it's not a big worry to me...but, I go by Polly Anna when I am not William Tell.

;)

Actually Tell, it only solves about $700 Billion of the problem.

Which will be $20 TRILLION by 2016......

Actually, my understanding is that SS is segregated from the deficit. It has its own problems, and I agree that scaling the cap or indexing makes the "SS problem" go away.
